International dimension

A unifying force

It represents a unifying force between the music, dance and drama departments, and has several facets: mobility of students, teachers and administrative staff, participation in intensive thematic projects, targeted cooperation between classes, participation in professional, sharing and expertise networks. It enhances students’ career paths by introducing them to different teaching methods and encourages their professional integration. Strengthening staff skills and innovating in the structuring of courses also rely on this dimension. 

The PSPBB has forged partnerships with over sixty universities and conservatoires in Europe and around the world. Ties are formed with stages, artistic foundations and the network of French institutes abroad.

The PSPBB is an Erasmus+ Charter holder and is a member of several thematic associations and professional networks.

ERASMUS+

As an Erasmus+ Charter holder, the PSPBB benefits from European funding for the majority of its European and international projects. Support in the form of a bursary or direct assistance with project organisation is available to all participants in the Erasmus+ exchange programme. 

As a signatory to the Erasmus+ Charter, the PSPBB works to promote European values such as democracy, gender equality, inclusion and diversity. It supports eco-friendly choices in project development. 

The Erasmus+ scheme operates according to the following principles:

• The student remains enrolled at their home institution;
• Application fees and training at the host institution are free of charge;
• Courses taken abroad are credited as part of the national curriculum, thanks to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
• Students can receive financial support from the European Union.

Thanks to this scheme, all exchange students enjoy the same rights and duties as students enrolled in a regular course at their host institution.
